This drawing shows a woman with a headscarf, looking straight ahead. Her hands are clasped in front of her chest. She's wearing a loose, draped garment. The drawing is done in charcoal and pencil on paper. The woman's face is expressionless, but her eyes seem to hold a quiet intensity. The artist's use of simple lines and shading creates a sense of calmness and serenity. The artist of this piece is Karl Hofer.
